Somewhat tangential comment on this older patch, since you
continue to dig around in the runtime PM area:

Whenever a crtc is activated or deactivated in nouveau, we iterate
over all crtcs and acquire a runtime PM if a crtc is active and
previously there was no active one, or we drop a ref if none is
active and previously there was an active one.

For a while now I've been thinking that it would be more straightforward
to acquire a ref whenever a crtc is activated and drop one when a crtc
is deactivated, i.e. hold one ref for every active crtc.  That way the
have_disp_power_ref variable as well as the iteration logic could be
removed, leading to a simplification.  Just a suggestion anyway.

Thanks,

Lukas
